How about buying a whole Venetian island on the Internet?



The two-acre Tessera Island, which lies north of the main clump of islands that make up the lagoon city, is up for sale for $4.5 million on www.vladi.de — including speed boat.



The Web Site lists more than 100 islands for sale or to rent from Greece to the Bahamas because “nearly everyone dreams of owning an island.”

Tessera Island is currently owned by creative thinking guru Edward de Bono who holds a brain-training course there once a year, according to his Web Site www.edwdebono.com.
